Russia has lost around 1,370,890 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on June 5.

The number includes 1,550 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

According to the report, Russia has also lost 11,980 tanks, 24,684 armored combat vehicles, 103,300 vehicles and fuel tanks, 43,315 artillery systems, 1,832 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,404 air defense systems, 436 aircraft, 353 helicopters, 329,772 drones, 1,576 ground robotic systems, 33 warships and boats, and two submarines.

Ukraine's General Staff has not revealed its own losses during the full-scale invasion, citing operational secrecy.

Independent Western think-tank reports agree that the Russian casualties significantly surpass Ukraine's losses, with the D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies estimating the ratio to be "roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1."

A January 2026 CSIS report said Ukraine has likely suffered between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties from February 2022 to December 2025, of which between 100,000 and 140,000 are thought to be killed in action (KIA).
